Four months passed since Raven entered closed door cultivation . While he constantly burnt beast cores one by one and absorbed their energy , many changes happened inside the Sect .
After being completely treated of his ailment , Wushang went to cultivate inside the inner area of The Demon Beast Mountain Range . He absorbed energy like vortex and had to change places all the time because the energy inside the previous area would be completely exhausted . Many beasts were angered by this shameless cultivator so Wushang had to battle many powerful beasts at once . Still his prowess improved by leaps and bounds and in just short nine days , he had reached Peak Martial General Realm .
Now the barrier separating Northern Region from the other regions , placed some restrictions on him . So he had to leave soon and could stay for at most five more years before powerful beams of light descend from the sky and completely obliterate his existence . This power was the one which even terrified the strongest experts of this world so they did not dare to venture inside the Northern Region . This mysterious barrier had aroused countless question in the past ten thousand years but they are all left unanswered till date . Thanks to this , the Northern Region was relatively peaceful but other regions instead were filled with more share of chaos .
Wushang had cultivated Wood Element Seed which was one of the rarest ones but also most popular . The cultivators who possessed this Core , were extremely suitable to cultivate myriad healing Arts . Thus they were respected everywhere and were showered with countless resources by the powerful establishments to further nourish them . After all the more powerful a healer became , the more powerful his Healing Arts. All in all , even though Wushang had practically lost his prime age for cultivation but he still had huge hope for his future .
Not only in cultivation but Wushang had the most change in his mindset . His previous dominating personality which was sealed for more than a century , was now mixed with his patient personality. So now he had transformed into an extremely cunning individual. Naturally , Wushang proceeded to eliminate the internal threats of the Floating Cloud Sect first .
He formed various plans and in the cover of darkness, uprooted many Factions that were proved to have malicious intentions . Wushang did not reveal himself to be the person behind the sudden purge because his newfound strenght was suitable to be a trump card against foreign powers . Sadly , Wushang had to personally eliminate his own personal disciples because practically all of the Factions were connected to them in some way . Even though Wushang had returned to his past vigorous demeanor but the feelings cultivated in the century , caused him to hesitate. In the end Wushang could not bring himself to kill his disciples but they were not lucky as the Pent up frustration of countless victims burst in one go . The 3 of them faced ambushes to unending count of enemies and were murdered after exhausting their power in the process of defending themselves.
The disappearance of tens of Factions was good news for most of disciples as they could now accept more missions while not fearing the extortion of these Factions. Hundreds of low level Elders and more than ten Core Elders died but disciples felt more happy than sad . It was true that the Sect had lost much of its power but they were not afraid as the Floating Cloud Sect had the most sturdy foundation in the whole Northern Region . The number of Core Elders alone was in hundreds which was too much in comparison with the other two sects who had only twenty or thirty Core Elders .
The Factons which were spared of elimination were not stupid so they chose to lay low . In fact most them disbanded because they all knew that the one behind such a huge operation could only be the Sect Leader . They were confused about the violent actions of the mild Leader but they had no time to brood on these changes and had to cherish their own lives first .
....
The other most astonishing news was that Elder Mark who was rumored to be poisoned before , had suddenly appeared and promoted to the post of Head Core Elder by the Sect Leader himself . People were more shocked because Mark had advanced to Peak Martial Peak Realm in such a short period of time too.
Acknowledging the strenght , there were almost no resistance for Mark as in this world all believed that MIGHT IS RIGHT .
Almost everyone had forgotten the existence of Raven as they were still incapable of coping up with so many internal changes of the Sect . The mission hall was the most lively place because practically all the new missions were cleaned out in just one day . So the reputation of the Sect experienced huge boost as more more missions were recieved by the Sect . Be it merchants or Royals, all of them increased the number of missions allocated to The Floating Cloud Sect because they themselves recieved the benifits of fast completion of missions in short period of time .
News traveled through ear and ear so soon the reputation of Floating Cloud , had reached the ears of almost everyone in the Northern Region bringing more and more fame to the more than ten thousand years old Sect .
